A filmmaker and writer since childhood, Mike DiCerto has directed numerous shorts, music videos, documentaries, promotional videos and two feature films (No Exit and Triptosane). His first novel, Milky Way Marmalade, received rave reviews and was the winner of the 2003 Dream Realm Award.

Mike has many interests, including yoga (practicing for more than ten years), gardening (loves growing chili peppers in his rooftop garden), playing guitar (and trying hard to get better), cats (long-time volunteer at NYC’s Ollie’s Place Adoption Center), really good and really bad movies and 70s TV as well all kinds of geeky stuff. He is a dedicated MST3K fanatic.

He thinks of music as his religion, especially classic rock.

He lives quite contently in a NYC apartment with his wife and soul mate Suzy and their rescued kitty Cosmo.
